I'm trying to export the file names of the files that were changed through commits in git to a txt file. How can I approach this problem? I just want the file name and I would like one file name on each line instead of all of them clumped together. Thank you in advance for the help!

Update: shorter / simpler version (no need for log -1 here when you have show)
git show --pretty="" --name-only <commitHash> > file.txt
Original answer
git log --name-only <commitHash> -1 --pretty=format:'' > file.txt
will list the related files for any given commit, and print the list, one file per line, in file.txt. (doc)
Note that you could also filter the type of operation relevant for the listing here. I mean, you could list only modified files, or deleted files, for example.

Some constructive criticism for the downvote? I don't mind the rep, just want to improve on a mistake if any :-) – Romain Valeri Mar 22 '19 at 18:49

Thanks for correction by RomainValeri. My command just made a little modification, it shows file names by date order:
git log -1 --date-order --name-only --pretty=format:'' > myAllCommittedFiles.txt

Did you actually *try* any of these commands in a terminal? OP wants a list of the files, one per line, without extra info. I'm pretty sure that you're outputting way too much things here... – Romain Valeri Mar 22 '19 at 22:15

git log --date-order --pretty=oneline --name-only > myAllCommittedFiles.txt this does what's the issue? – muhammad tayyab Mar 22 '19 at 23:05

No, this outputs commit hashes also. try it in any repo, you'll see for yourself. – Romain Valeri Mar 22 '19 at 23:07

Hmm... that's odd. Let's check versions, it must be something they changed in the output format at some point. `git version 2.21.0.windows.1` for me. You? – Romain Valeri Mar 22 '19 at 23:09
